THE year 1 885 saw the foundation of the London Hunt, and as 

 is the case with all the Hunts in Canada, English hounds were 

 procured from the mother country. The Hunt began to enjoy 

 its first years of sport under the Mastership of George C. Gibbons, Esq., 

 who continued in office for fifteen years, finally resigning, in 1900, in favor 

 of a younger man, the present M. F. H. Mr. Adam Beck has today some 

 of the best hunters in America, and in 1 907 the London Hunt Team won at 

 the International Horse Show at Olympia, London, England, to say nothing 

 of having won twice previously at the National Horse Show in New York 

 and at every Canadian Horse Show at which they were exhibited. 



In 1 902, Mr. Beck imported ten couples of hounds from England, most 

 of them coming from Mr. Salkeld's. At the same time. Will Edwards, 

 now first Whipper-in to the Middlesex, came over to take charge of the 

 hounds, and during the two seasons that he remained at London the pack 

 was brought to the fiigh standard of efficiency at which it has since been kept.
